Hogwart’s Certain Professor Of Magic

In Potions' Professor's office, Felix and Snape are playing a wizard game.

Felix started with White King Armament, Snape started with Black Sicily defensively, and the board reached the middle game. You come and go with each other, but both of them are not entirely on the board.

"How is the slime effect of the Blast-Ended Skrewt Larvae?"

"Not bad, it seems that some unknown change has occurred, which I personally think is benign..." Snape commanded His own black pawn stepped forward and said softly: "This may be an idea. Use different magic attributes to process materials in order to'kill' some unnecessary but stubborn material qualities."

"Isn't there a situation where the materials neutralize each other in the same potion? Oh...I understand." Felix said, and at the same time directed his queen to advance two squares, sweeping the black pawn out of the board.

Snape at a moderate pace schedules bishop, "Most mediocre wizards can't distinguish the subtle differences, and this is the key factor that determines whether he can achieve success on the potion journey..."

Felix's white Knight shiver coldly under the threat of the black bishop, kept shouting at Felix: "Come and save me! Come and save me!"

Felix coldly arrived After receiving the order, his white king walked forward three squares without expression, his gaze moved back and forth between the two black pawns diagonally and vertically. Snape contemplated for a few seconds before giving up the vertical black pawn.

At this time, Felix moved the white Knight into the black territory. "Charge!" the chess piece shouted enthusiastically.

"That's right," Felix said, responding to Snape. "However, we must also consider the basic deviation of some newly enrolled young wizards."

"It has been considered. The potion ratio in the first year is extremely simple, leaving them plenty of time to adapt. "Snape said slowly, "Unless they are illiterate, or have no logical ability."

Felix recalled that it was indeed the case. The entire First Year potion textbook was There are not a few recipes, most of which are introductions to common potion materials, precautions when cooking potion, and a summary of the characteristics of common potion. Even if there are only a dozen potion recipes remaining, the operation steps are described in great detail. Even after stirring a few times, the reaction is explained in detail, and there are common mistakes and corrective measures at the back of the page.

At this time, Snape's Dark Knight approached the center of the board and launched an attack towards the center. Felix mobilized the castle to meet. The medicinal smell on the board is getting stronger and stronger, but the two people outside the board are chatting at a moderate pace——

"Recently, many students are discussing using ancient runes to increase modern magic. Some students have already studied A lot of stuff came out," Snape said softly.

"I know..." Felix stared at the chessboard, feeling that the center pawn was not the right shape. After a moment of indulgence, he keenly discovered a hidden trap. He glanced at Snape and wanted to distract me with words. ?

He decisively told White Knight to back off. The black pawn immediately followed, the white bishop stepped forward to sweep away the black pawn, and the Dark Knight counterattacked and took the white bishop. At this time, the white queen suddenly ate Dark Knight. The white soldiers ate the black queen.

After a fierce exchange, Felix let out a long relaxed breath.

"In fact, the fusion of ancient runes and modern magic is a dead end."

"Dead way?" Snape looked at him suspiciously, not paying attention to the chess pieces in his hand.

"Well," Felix thought about it seriously, "It is more accurate to say...a fork road is like a tributary branched out by a river. At the end, it still has to merge into one."

"I've never heard of this." Snape said slowly, twirling a dark knight that was struggling in his hand.

Felix laughed, he explained in detail: "Take the'flow of water' magic text and the water creation curse as examples. Some of their magic concepts overlap, so the magic text has a strengthening effect on incantation, but you will find that, This increase impossible is suitable for all incantations, and I guess the specific effect will vary from person to person..."

"It varies from person to person?" Snape pondered the word.

"Yes. For example, the mastery of the magic text, a deep understanding of the magic text is the most basic premise, although it can be tricky, but someone is willing to teach...and choose the appropriate incantion, students I am experimenting with energetic and bustling. It should be possible to try some results before the enthusiasm is exhausted...There are also use spell time, launch timing, etc., all of which are problems."

Felix continued: "This is just a fusion of a single magic text and modern magic. What will happen after that? Incorporate two or three magic texts? Magic text loops, magic text sequences, ancient magic? You will find that the farther behind, the greater the proportion of ancient runes Seriously, it doesn't make much sense."

"Then why are you—" Snape took a deep breath.

"I wanted to make trouble in the past," Felix said calmly, "I want to climb up and appreciate the mysteries of higher places. Some obviously unsuitable routes are naturally abandoned, such as me I know the follow-up and end of this line of thought-transforming modern magic into ancient magic, breaking through various tangible and intangible restrictions. But obviously, this is not what I want."

Especially when there are After the Mowen Book. Felix thought.

Snape was silent for a while, "Well, do you think it's better to take it out now?"

"Diggory reminded me, and I'm in the same boat." Felix Slightly shook his head, stared at the chessboard for a moment, looked away and said, "Of course, think about it, it is really good for me to promote ancient runes..."

The situation on the chessboard enters the endgame stage. , The scene began to become clear. The Zili competition just now took a lot of his thoughts, especially since he didn't plan to cheat with the Mind House or Mind Accelerate Magic.

Felix lazily leaned on the back of the sofa, watched Snape concentrating on thinking, and continued the topic: "Although I don’t need it, Diggory’s accidental discovery also reminds me of one thing: ancient runes may have come from Me, but I prefer to bloom after me, so I encourage them to contribute to the magazine."

Snape lifted the head abruptly, looking at him in surprise.

"Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the combination of ancient runes and modern magic, as well as some good cases...I designed a set of the thesis structure, and they completed it in this way, plus a little luck, It can be published in a magazine," Felix explained. "Of course, I mean the members of the Mowen Club." He added. At the same time directing his white soldiers forward, the white soldiers drew out a scimitar to exaggerately threaten the opponent's Knight. "I also suggest that the students send it out in two, and one is designated to be sent to the ancient runes association."

Snape showed a clear expression.

The relationship between my own student and the ancient runes association has not been very good. Those old scholars who have studied the changes in the shape and meaning of characters for a lifetime have a hard time accepting Felix's theory. Their general view is: ancient runes are one The language is just borrowing some of the "shapes" of the predecessors.

Now it seems that waiting for these students to grow up, and then forming a "new ancient runes association" is not impossible. In other words, it is almost inevitable. More than half of Hogwarts's graduates this year have chosen ancient runes, and one of the more than 5 points in the whole grade has attended the improvement class of ancient runes. Their knowledge of ancient runes and previous years is what Felix hopes.

A terrifying fact is that Felix has only been employed for less than three years. In other words, the students who graduated in the past two years did not follow him at first. According to this standard, only the current Fifth Year — -Those students who are preparing for OWLs are the first to receive Felix ancient runes education from the Third Year.

And those old scholars, all they can do is to speak out on the corners of some newspapers, denounce this behavior, or consider splitting out the “practical” ancient runes in name. , Do not recognize their existence, 1 point is two, anyway, the proportion of this part of the ancient runes is not large...

This should be the best way. Snape thought to himself, it's like a gecko with a short tail surviving. Although it looks ugly, it has saved itself.

Felix fiddled with a chess piece and said with a smile: "I have recently made new discoveries. Some of the magic texts that we thought were purely translational may be some simplifications and transformations of practical magic texts. , Um, maybe the degree of deformation is relatively large..."

This is also the sentiment brought to him by the book of magic text.

Snape was speechless.

Even the last step was blocked. Apart from surrendering, is there any way for the Ancient Runes Association?

……

The headquarters of the ancient runes association.

Compared to such large organizations as the Extraordinary Potioneer Association and St. Mungo's Magic Medical Association, the resident of the Ancient Runes Association looks particularly shabby. All the members add up to only a few thirty. This is still the association repeatedly. Relaxation of requirements, the results accumulated over several decades.

"Have you seen it? It's normal to publish a valuable article in the field of ancient runes in a few years, but recently half a month, there are six or seven very groundbreaking papers sent to me... "

"Does the gadget they study have anything to do with us?" A grumpy old man patted the table.

"Old Vera, don't bring personal emotions. Your granddaughter goes to work in the "Future World" company. In any case, it cannot affect the fairness of our association."

old man flustered and exasperated looking at his friend.

"You have to think about it, these papers have been published on both "Daily Prophet" and "Witch Weekly", and even attracted the attention of the Ministry of Magic——"

"What's their business?" the old man asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Ha! This incident involves at least three departments, the experimental incantion committee, the wizard examination authority, and the Auror office." The person said slowly, "I heard that they are also planning to work in Felix. ·Under the leadership of Haip, a booklet about ancient runes has been assembled, so it may attract the attention of the publishing department..."

"Will the people from the wizard examination administration go there too?" asked the old man road.

"Gelda was very patient and planned to see this year's results...but things changed so fast that she couldn't sit still anymore. This is almost a subversion of modern incantion! "

"Is it that exaggerated?" The old man didn't believe it.

"At least it is a supplement, I have already backed down a step, you can't refute it!" The visitor said with a beard and staring.

"Okay," the old man smacked his lips and did not move for a while, "Do you know Professor Macchiban? Let her take me one!"
